Finding the right set up is key, and at times can be over looked when it comes to choosing the right body. LFR says, “The choice is the Assassin.” With design help of team driver Chris Giraldo, Leadfinger carries over this great design and offers it now for the popular Tekno EB48 electric buggy.

The unique XRAY Center Active Differential is a high-performance, adjustable gear differential that is designed to vastly improve the buggy’s speed and handling characteristics. The special design of the internal components, using different angled segments, allows the diff gears to engage on-power to increase forward traction and stability to make the buggy faster and easier to drive.

In honor of the 40th anniversary of the company, Sanwa releases a special edition of the MT-4S! Therefore, the engineers upgraded the “M12 in small size” with new technical and visual features: The MT-4S 40 Years comes in a special black piano lacquer design with grip plates designed accordingly, while the steering wheel is made from aluminium. Two receivers are included – RX-471 Dual-ID and RX-472.

RC Indoor Oeste hosted their opening race for their new outdoor track this past weekend, and many of Portugal’s top drivers were in attendance. XRAY’s Miguel Matias used this event as a bit of preparation for the upcoming NeoX, and walked away with TQ and the overall win in 1/8 Nitro Buggy and 1/8 E-Buggy.

New for 2015 is the Midwest R/C Tour. This 4 race series travels across Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa to bring some of the midwest’s fastest 1/8 Nitro Buggy, Nitro Truggy, and E-Buggy racers together for wheel-to-wheel racing. The series is set to kick off Round 1 on Saturday, March 28th at JCP-RC Raceway in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The Carolina R/C Complex is under new ownership, and big changes are in the works. The facility has hired the one and only, Joey Christensen of The Dirt to reconstruct the Complex’s offroad facility. With the reconstruction, the track will be 1/8 scale and 1/10 scale friendly, and debut the new changes at the 2015 Grand Re-Opening Race on March 27-28, 2015!

We received the following statement from RB Products today announcing that the company is “to be placed under the protection of the Commercial Court of Grenoble… The goal of this action is to ensure the continuation of the activity by the intervention of a new shareholder.“

The news will naturally shock a few of our readers however here at NeoBuggy we take a positive pragmatic view on the statement from RB – a period of restructuring is ahead as they are able to retain the management but operating under difficult French company law and taxation rules requiring significant administration has made it incredibly hard for the company to survive in the long term – that said it shows a great deal of respect and class to see the company put out an official statement regarding their situation prior to the rumour mill running out of control.

RB as a company and brand were one of the first to support NeoBuggy, they have moulded and shaped modern day RC Racing starting off with fuel and engines only to hit even greater heights; memorably at the 2013 Euro B Championships with their record breaking car, engine, fuel, tyres, ADS victory – a feat very difficult to repeat!

As a functioning company with staff, warehouse, departments, end-to-end support etc. We wish them all the best for the future which surely is bright with an anticipated 2015 Engine release this week!
